In which region is the term mardy used?

[GreenBeanMcGee]

I keep seeing it on MN. It seems to mean grumpy but I'm curious to know in which areas/regions it's used?

TIA

Was used in Leicestershire when I lived there.

My friend from Derbyshire always uses 'mardy'.

I also love the Scouse term for someone being grumpy/in a bad mood 'Eeee, he's got a right cob on!'

I say it and I'm from Birmingham.

Interestingly, the meaning seems to vary between Yorkshire, Lancashire and E Mids. en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/mardy

Salford / Manchester. Stop being mard / a mardy arse.

South Yorkshire here too

Common parlance in Yorkshire.

Hence Artic Monkeys ‘Now then mardy bum’.

Midlands here. But cob on is more common

Or mard-arse. I use that a lot

Lincolnshire we use it frequently "DD is being mardy" also the equally often used "DD has got a cob on"

Lincolnshire.

My mother was from Stafford and used it all the time.

I’ve always felt ‘cob on’ is a bit more understandable than ‘mardy’ which was usually without much reason ?

Lancashire - my family use it but not often, more likely to use "being a mard arse"

Nottinghamshire.

I always think that sounds like it means ‘has an erection.’

For me - mardy is more sulky than grumpy.

Lincolnshire. Really common expression.

large well now I do too !

I'm in Cheshire but near to Staffordshire and Lancashire and we use it
We also say someone is in "a mard"

@Pimpernella

For me - mardy is more sulky than grumpy.

Also for me. The kind of kid who whinges constantly, cries at everything. That's mardy. A cob on is like a chin on. Arsey.

Cob on = Lob on to my ears.

West Midlands and Manchester

Yep as PP say, used is Nottingham/Derby. It's more like 'mard-eh' round here though. Alternatively, you can say "yer gorra rart mard on today, yo 'ave."

Lancashire (Clitheroe/Blackburn) - we’d say ‘don’t be so mard’, but didn’t really use mardy
